Choose your own adventure

Do you ever wish that you could turn back time? Can you pick out particular incidents that you wish you could have a do over for? Recently I've wanted that very badly. I'd like to be able to go back and not take the path of least resistence, change my decisions or actions based on hindsight. I don't know if things would be different now if I had done things differently in the past, but it makes me wonder. However, I do think the past has helped me grow, especially over the last two years, and that may be a better outcome than would have happened had I done things differently.

As the ubiquitous "they" say, "Hindsight is 20-20," but is that true? It's more likely that hindsight yields an ideal, not clarity as to a decision. Hypotheses can be made as to the different paths that one would travel down but at that next fork in the road more decisions have to be made, decisions influenced by previous decisions and future perceived outcomes. So, where does this get us? Should one idealize the past and covet it's infinite options for replays in the mind? Conversely, should one just continue to move forward and remember the past as a guide from which to glean information for future decisions? Now that I think about it, the latter is probably the best scenario. One must keep growing, moving forward and and cannot get trapped in the past and its questions of "What if?" The new question should be, "What can be?"

As I was writing this, this poem came to mind.

ROAD LESS TRAVELED - Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

Who am I?

I don't really know what an Imagist poet is, but Susanna sent this to me so I figured I'd find out which one of them I am.

You are John Gould Fletcher
(1886-1950), author of Goblins and
Pagodas
, Branches of Adam
etc. You're a dreamer of independent means,
solitary but capable of deep passion, steeped
in the scents of the American South and later,
of the Orient. You're not always happy, but
you're very productive. And you won a Pulitzer.


Which of the Imagist poets are you?
